tDCS for Treatment Resistant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderIt's a multicentric, randomized, controlled study concerning 100 patients with treatment-resistant obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on OCD patients.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disease
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation2 moreTo investigate the treatment effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on Obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the underlying neural mechanism by functional MRI.
Rituximab for Obsessive-compulsive Disorder. (RITS-PO-2019)
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderTreatment Resistant DisordersThis study evaluates the addition of rituximab to 12 patients diagnosed with treatment resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder in an open trial.
Targeting Taboo Thoughts In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderThe purpose of this pilot study is to investigate if a cognitive treatment targeting obsessive beliefs in patients with aggressive obsessions is feasible and effective as an online treatment.
dTMS in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderHigh-frequency deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) over the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) with an H-coil has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, there is not yet strong scientific evidence concerning the efficacy and safety of performing a similar procedure with a double-cone coil or in an accelerated manner. The aim of this study was evaluating the efficacy of dTMS over the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in an accelerated manner with double-cone coil.
Transdiagnostic Treatment Personalization
Anxiety DisordersDepressive Disorder2 moreThe primary purpose of this study is to explore whether the efficiency of treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders can be increased using two discrete strategies: personalized skill ordering and 2) treatment discontinuation based on proximal indicators of improvements. The present study will specifically use treatment components drawn from an evidence-based psychological intervention, the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). This intervention has strong empirical support for patients presenting with anxiety, depressive, and related disorders and contains therapeutic skills that are common in psychological interventions (e.g., psychoeducation, mindfulness training, cognitive restructuring, countering emotional avoidance, increasing interoceptive tolerance). This study will determine if prioritizing the order of treatment modules to capitalize on patient strengths or compensate for weakensses increases treatmen efficacy. Additionally, it will also identify under what conditions briefer treatment modules may be appropriate.
Extending Ketamine's Effects in OCD With Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP)
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderThis study investigates if a single dose of IV Ketamine can rapidly improve Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms and whether these effect can be maintained with a condensed course of a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP). You will be compensated for your time and travel. Participants must be between the ages of 18-55.
Safety and Effectiveness of Gamma Capsulotomy in Intractable OCD
Obsessive Compulsive DisorderA research study of the effectiveness and safety of gamma knife ventral capsulotomy in patients with severe intractable obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Exposure-Focused Family-Based CBT for Youth With ASD and Comorbid Anxiety
AutismAsperger's Syndrome6 moreAutism spectrum disorders affect as many as 1 out of 88 children and are related to significant impairment in social, adaptive, and school functioning. Co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety, are common and may cause substantial distress and impairment beyond that caused by the autism diagnosis. Accordingly, we are proposing a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy relative to treatment as usual (TAU) in 50 youth ages 6-12 with autism spectrum disorders and comorbid anxiety.
Efficacy of Exposure and Response Prevention(ERP) and SSRIs in Chinese OCD Patients
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderAnxiety Disorders1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of SSRIs(Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) ,ERP(Exposure and Response Prevention) and the combination of the two therapies for OCD(Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) patients ,at the same time, to find out the biological or psychological predictors of treatment response in Chinese population.
